I’ve been agonizing over this.
I’ve finally come to the conclusion that sometimes sweet and simple is the best way to go. So…. with that I give you my announcement:
Yep. That’s a real live baby.
Oh yeah….and it’s ours in case you were wondering.
I know.
I still think it’s pretty crazy too.
I know that ultrasound photos are only exciting if you’re the parent or grandparent-to-be, but I thought I’d show you guys our little person anyway. It still looks pretty much like a sea monkey as of 9 weeks (I’m currently 11 weeks), but at least it’s tail has gone away now (yeah….I totally forgot that babies started out with tails – weird) and we’re pretty sure it can only get cuter from here :).
So…..
There you have it.
Our little family is growing and Craig and I are thrilled.

Congrats. Now I know why you’ve been pinning all the baby stuff on pinterest (yes I follow you on pinterest). My BFF is 10 weeks.
I’m so happy for you and Craig, Lauren. (like I said, almost unreasonably). I’m all choked up at my desk seeing that little sea-monkey!

Your news is so-very exciting!!! =)
Congratulations! And what a nice way to reveal the big surprise too, I think straightforward is totally awesome, and now we don’t have to beg to see the pictures.
and thanks for the warning about the tail. Otherwise I’d probably try having kids one day and wind up having a major freakout about that.
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! So exciting. I LOVE ultrasound pictures even when they aren’t mine. It’s so fascinating. Best wishes!

Congrats!! What amazing news!!
congrats! truth is even after the baby is born, you will still look at him/her and think “how did this happen?!”. I still do and mine is 4 yrs old.
Yay!!!! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations.
It’s such a special time. Soak it ALL UP. Take it ALL IN. My little man will be 6 in a few months, which blows my mind. Every moment is precious. And it’s the best journey you’ll ever go on and every stage is “my favorite” until the next one rolls around and then THAT one becomes my favorite.
Congrats Congrats Congrats!
I expect to see 800 million baby bump photos…. startttinngggggg NOW.
